Evidence

The claim traces to reporting by the Wall Street Journal (citing US officials) that Chinese commercial satellite entities supplied Iran with high-resolution imagery of the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, used before and after Iran's July 17 attack that killed three US soldiers. Multiple outlets (Times of Israel, Jerusalem Post, Daily Wire, Nukta, The Gateway Pundit, CDM, Vision Times, American Liberty News) republished or summarized this WSJ report in September, all consistently describing US officials as declining to name the Chinese firms involved and stopping short of accusing the Chinese government of direct participation in the strike. No independent fact-checking organization (Reuters Fact Check, AFP Fact Check, Bellingcat, EUvsDisinfo) appears to have issued a dedicated verification or debunking of this specific claim in my search results; the coverage found is secondary reporting based on the original WSJ story, which itself relied on anonymous US officials as sources.
